WHAT DOES KIRIGAMI MEAN IN ENGLISH?

kirigami

Kirigami

Kirigami is a variation of origami that includes cutting of the paper, rather than solely folding the paper as is the case with origami. It is also called "Kirie". From "Kiru"= to cut, "e"= picture. Typically, kirigami starts with a folded base, which is then cut; cuts are then opened and flattened to make the finished kirigami. Kirigami are usually symmetrical, such as snowflakes, pentagrams, or orchid blossoms. A difference between kirigami and the art of "pop-up" is that kirigami is made out of a single piece of paper that has been cut into a design. Pop ups can be made of several pieces glued together. Mon-Kiri is the Japanese art of paper cutting.
